We left the house in the campervan and headed south. We stopped at Morrisons in Penrith for lunch and a short walk for Oscar. We then carried on to the North York Moors National Park and arrived our campsite just outside Pickering.
It's a Camping & Caravanning Club Certificated Site called Wierside, in a big field near a farm.
Ours was the only van there when we arrived. There's a sign on pitch 1 with our name on it.
The facilities are very good, with toilets and large showers that look quite new. The grass here is very brown due to the drought that most of England is having.
After setting up we went for a walk into town. There's a path alongside Pickering Beck straight from the site, it takes nearly half an hour to get there.
We had a wander round the centre, then went for a pint in the Bay Horse Inn, it was quite busy.
Back at the site we had pasta with bacon, pest and spinach for dinner. We were still alone on the site for the first night.
